Hi John,

I have this one bracelette that really intrigues me. It's a bangle 
bracelette. The hard, round kind. It's sterling silver, with little slits all 
the way around, like chevrons. Then, around the outside it had and endless 
row of beautiful emeralds. They're a beautiful green and they are all 
rectangular. It's really gorgeous! I was told many years ago that if you have 
bracelettes with the security chain that the tinier the chain, the more 
expensive it is. The chain on this one is VERY tiny. :>

Well, that's a good idea since I'm pretty interested, although, I do have 
SOME books, it's very hard to find jewelry like mine mentioned in them. I 
guess the manufacturers would be the best to follow if they have those on 
there. :>
Thanks...
